What’s more perfect for summer crochet outfit than a sexy crop top, allowing your skin to breathe? This irresistible design with vintage-inspired long sleeves is a crochet dream come true. Style yours with high-waisted trousers to temper the shorter silhouette or with a maxi skirt for a glamorous, head-turning bohemian look.

Love the look of this angel sleeve top but hate breaking the yarn after completing each motif? Me too! For this crop top additional photo-tutorial is included that shows how to crochet such round motifs without cutting off the yarn and how you can finish the loop of square motifs in each sleeve without hiding lots of ends. After grasping my NO-YARN-BREAKING concept you will be able to crochet all motif-garments without doing any harm to yarn skeins (and saving your time :))

Photos of completed project: courtesy of Anna-Crochet in exchange for one free dress pattern with the same round and square motifs and different assembly layout.

Upon request of my customer I have included additional layout for a longer top and it was already tested: longer top with shorter sleeves.

This crochet pattern is available on Etsy and in my shop.

You will download 3 PDFs that you can choose from depending on your style, age and crochet experience:

► detailed tutorial in English with charted and written explanations for crocheting this crop top as well as 52 photos of the process - browse screen shots: conceptcreative.store/top-desire

► detailed tutorial for a LONGER top with similar round motifs and SIMPLER assembly layout. In this longer top you will repeat only 2 motifs and add neckline edging in the end. This tutorial includes charted and written explanations for every row and 37 photos of the progress. As an extra support I’ve uploaded VIDEO with these round motifs and connections on my YouTube channel. You can also download just one PDF with video from this link: conceptcreative.store/crochet-tunic/

► additional written and charted tutorial illustrating my NO-YARN-BREAKING concept for all round and square motifs in this garment (+ 64 photos of the process).

This crochet pattern is given for bust circumference 91 cm/36’’. I have included suggestions on how big should be your gauge if you wish to crochet this crop top for bust circumference 84-89 cm/33’’-35’’ and 96-101 cm/38-40’’. In this case you will need to use another yarn and/or hook (for example, for bust 101 cm/40’’ the width of each round motif will be just 1 cm (0.4”) larger than in the original top shown in photos).

Please keep the original small margins of this PDF during printing out.

Yarn: Fingering / 4 ply / category by yarnstandards.com is 1 : Super Fine.

The width of one round motif is considered as gauge and depends on the chosen size.

Some crocheters think that these free vintage charts already in the public domain belong to this top. In fact they are for different round motifs. Because some Etsy shops resell free vintage charts along with the wrong assembly layout for flared sleeves, I kindly ask you not to share my crochet patterns. Drawing colorful detailed charts, quite a peculiar sleeve assembly layout, testing all connections between motifs, describing all rows took several months and I do not wish to support any shops that promise you patterns not corresponding with cover photos or created with the help of AI.
